Güde Alpha Walnut Peeling Knife 6 cm - CVM Knife Steel - Walnut Wood Handle Scales

With any knife, you can actually peel, but with the peeling knife, vegetables and fruits can be shaped even more perfectly. In kitchen jargon, peeling and shaping is referred to as tourné. This is where half-moon-shaped potatoes are often carved.

The Alpha Olive peeling knife has a 6 cm long, curved blade made of stainless, hand-ground chrome-vanadium-molybdenum knife steel. Thanks to the curved tip, also known as the knee, fine and round cuts can be executed with extreme precision.

Güde knives are hand-forged from a single piece of chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel, from the tip of the blade to the double bolster. The double bolster, a special feature of Güde knives, serves as a counterweight to the blade. The knife is perfectly balanced. The special blend of steel and the elaborate manufacturing process, which involves over 30 manual steps, give the stainless blades, with a hardness of about 58 HRC, exceptional robustness and durability.

The finely polished handle scales made from selected olive wood that is up to 500 years old are embedded in the steel and triple-riveted. The very hard and resilient wood has a strong, elegant grain.
